edhamāne guṇe sattve
devānāṁ balam edhate
asurāṇāṁ ca rajasi
tamasy uddhava rakṣasām

edhamāne — when it is increasing; guṇe — the mode; sattve — of goodness; devānām — of the demigods; balam — the strength; edhate — increases; asurāṇām — of the enemies of the demigods; ca — and; rajasi — when the mode of passion increases; tamasi — when the mode of ignorance increases; uddhava — O Uddhava; rakṣasām — of the man-eating monsters.

With the increase of the mode of goodness, the strength of the demigods similarly increases. When passion increases, the demoniac become strong. And with the rise of ignorance, O Uddhava, the strength of the most wicked increases.
